BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. By Cable to The Star and Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1921, CONSTANTINOPLE, Septémber 23.— The nationalists, reinforced by the troops of Kara Bekir Pasha and the § Mussulmans of the Caucasus; despite Ereat difficulties caused by the lack ©f transport, have succeeded in fol- ? Jowing up the Gréeks beyond the River Sakarin and are now trying to; recapture Eskielenque, which the Greeks are trying to hold at all haz- ards. The nationalists are advanc- ing slowly. The morale of the Greeks is so low that their commander dares not accept combat, but withdraws Wwithout abandoning war material. Two nationalist columns are ap- proaching the River, Seidos. while Greek troops. reinforced by a division Thrace. are concentrating at i Azi, twenty-five miles from hr. Here they are preparing t to permit_the reinforcement kieshehr-Kutahia line, where Greek military staff _hopes to spend the winter In case the media- tion of the allies fails. Last November, under a Greek law the government promised the people immediate demollization of the army. King Constantine, using his great popularity, appealed to people for a last sacrifice of men and material to consolidate the provinces recovered as the result of the victory of the allles, vini his subjects to understand that victory agaipst Mustapha Kemal Pasha would not only assure posses- sion of Syria and Thrace, but even- tually would win for them Constan tinople and the entire Black %ea coast from Trebizond to Samsun. These dreams have now faded, and the position not only of Constantine, but of the entire Greek dynasty, is seriously menaced. Politicians, who always play an im- portant role in Greece, now talk of resurrecting the Greek republic head- ed by Venizelos. FALL BACK TO WINTER LINE.

Convention This Evening Is Outlined. Special Dispatch to The Star. . BALTIMORE, September 23.—The platform of the republican party to be adopted at the state convention which meets here this evening will be much shorter than that adopted by the democrats on Tuesday, and it will contain a plank promising in- creased representation for Baltimore city. Just what this plank will promise, Chairman Tait, who made the prediction, would not say. THe plaiform will be like the demo- cratic decloration in that it will | say nothing about prohibition or an enforcement act. Last year nothing was said on the wet and dry sub- ject in the platform and it was con- ridered anything else but a party Is- sue. So it will be sidestepped again. Representative John Phillip Hill is going to have opposition for the city chairmanship of the party. George W. Cameron has announced that he intends to make a fight for the place and it is understood he has the backing of quite a number of in- fluential city men. Mr. Hill present chairman and is supposed to have the support of Senator Weller, but s) far as is known Mr. Weller has made no statement as to who he favors for the place. Mr. Cameron, who also is an active candidate for the position of postmaster of Balti- more, claims to have sufficient back- ing to have himself elected chair- man, and promises, if chosen, to be more active than Mr. Hill in push- ing party interests in the city. 100 LABOR ORGANIZERS BEGIN WORK IN SOUTH Unionizing of Workers in Caro- linas, Georgia and Alabama Is Proposed. By the Associated Press. CHARLOTTE, N. C., September 23.— One hundred organizers have been ap- pointed by the conference of American Federation Labor leaders here to begin at once thelr duties in four southern states, the Carolinas, Georgia and Ala- bama, for the purpose of bringing the unorganized among the industrial popu- Iation of these states into the ranks of organized labor. President James F. Barrett of the North Carolina Federation announced today that these organizers would take the fleld at once. L. M. Barrhardt has gone to Asheville to establish headquar- ters for the western part of this state. The purpose of the campaign as out- lined today by Mr. Barrett is “to or- ganize the unorganized and to resist all efforts in the future to lower standards of living among cotton mill workers. We come holding: out the olive branch to the employers of. cotton mill labor. We don’t want a fight with the mill owners, but we will not run from one.” —_— LAUDS AID FOR CHILDREN. President Writes to Anne Morgan About Help for France. sHearty sympathy -in the work of the American committee for devas- tated France was expressed by Pres- ident Harding in a letter to Miss Anne Morgan, an official of the com= mittee, who ‘wrote inviting him_to attend a Marine Band concert in New York to raise funds for French re- habilitation. The President _deglined the invitation, explaining that pu lic affairs would not permit his a tendance. “I am heartily in sympathy with your great work,” the President’s let- ter said, “and With your appeal to the people of this country for imme- dlatg lrd, to the end that the chil- ‘o Department of | dren of France shall be spared fur: ther sufferin; EHIND a pane of ss lots of clothes look fine. But in is the | Klaasen, twenty-six years old, who conducts a _rooming house at the H street address. Mrs. Klaasen, who the police say admitted the shopting, gave ! her reason that she did so in defense of*herself and children. Mrs. Kiaasen was exonerated of the | shooting by a coroner's jury which held an- inquest over the body of Ketron in the morgue today. The verdict stated that Mrs. Klaasen shot Ketron in de- fense of her life and property. Several witnesses testified that Ketron had been drinking. { According to a story told to the police by Mrs. Klaasen, she returned to her home about 8 o'clock last night {from downtown. She said she found her two children, Ethel, seven years old, and Harold, nine years old, great- 1y alarmed and furniture in the home wrecked. She charged that Ketron had been drinking and attacked her. She rushed from the house to a grocery store at 21st and H streets for the purpose of telephoning to the police. Ketron is said to have fol- lowed her and pushed her into the street. Mrs. Klaasen returned to her home, where she told Inspector Grant, chief of detectives, Ketron again at- tacked her. She obiained a revolver and shot him in the back. Ketron staggered outside the house and fell to the sidewalk. He was picked up by Allen H. Van Devanter of 2110 H street. Police of the third precinct had been called by that time and Ketron was rushed to Emergency Hospital, where he died a short time later. | Mrs. Klaasen was greatly excited | following the shooting and when taken to the third precinct police station by Policemen T. M. Polan and H. M. Nelson, but she was able to glve a collected story of the trouble leading up to the shooting. De- tectives Springmann and Darnell avere sent from police headquarters and made an investigation. Mrs. Klaasen was photographed at police headquarters _this morning, following her questioning by Inspector Grant. Later .police photographers went to the H street house and took pictures of the interior, where the furniture had been damaged. Following her arrest Mrs. Klaasen sent her two children to the home of her sigier at Wheaton, Md. Her husband, Wynand C. Klaasen, who is employed in Baltimore, was notified late last night of the shooting and immediately came to this city. Ketron came to this city from Kingsport, Tenn., last December and had been’ employed in the Interior Department as a clerk since that time. He was a field clerk overseas during the war. The body was re- moved to the morgue. Inspector Grant telegraphed to his relatives of the death. 5 WILL CALL ON PRESIDENT.

C, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1921 BECAUSE SHARE IN EXPENSES OF LEAGUE IS SMALL ROME, September 4.—Much in- dignation has been aroused in Italy by the proposal that. in de- termining the expenses of the league of nations. Italy 8hould be assigned to the second category. The Italians’ national pride has been hurt by the suggestion and columns have appeared in the press protesting against the idea of relegating the country to a po- sition inferior to other great powers. According to the sugges- tion, Great Britain and France would be placed in the first cate- gory, while Italy and Japan Would occupy the second. The price of being registered in the first category is 2,300,000 francs a year. while those of the second pay but 1,600,000 francs a year. The Epoca gave expression to its feelings in this manner: “The affair is _exceptionally unpleasant. Italy, which has so potently contributed to the vic- BALLOT BOXES FOUND UNLOCKED IN N. Y.

It is pointed out that the secretariat of the league consists of 170 mem- bers, of whom ninety are Eng- lish and fifty French, while Italy has no more than a dozen. “After France and England have monopolized nearly all the offices, after the British empire has suc- ceeded in having seven votes in the assembly, it could not happen otherwise than Italy is assigned in the second category,” says one commentator. “If others have a greater material potentiality, it is _at least necessary that Italy safeguard her moral position by not_allowing herself an inferior position to the others.” GEN.

Establishment of a great natlonal bureau of identification in the De- partment of Justice was advocated by Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, head of the woman's bureau of the local police department, at today's session of the seventh annual convension of the In- ternational Association for ldentifica- tion at the New Ebbitt Hotel. Stressing the need for universal fin- ger printing as a “social necessity,” Mrs. Van Winkle told the finger print men that she understood William J. Burns, chief of the Department of Justice investigational forces, had been able to save $250,000 on appro- priations and she urged the delegates to sponsor a movement to-get this saved money used for establishing the central identification bureau in the Department of Justice. Burled in Department. “Much is buried in the Department of Justice that they car't even find there themselves,” she said, scoring the habits of detectives in carrying first-hand evidence in their coat pock- ets. “They may have the original records in the Department of Jus- tice,” continuéd Mrs. Van Winkle, “but they can't find them.” Just to show how hard it is to identify anybody by descriptions of clothing, Mrs. Van Winkle told the finger-print_experts that one bright, sunshiny day recently she went out to look for a woman described as wear- ing a _tan raincoat and black hat with blue facing. “I thought it would be an easy mat- ter,” declared Mrs. Van Winkle, “but soon discovered I was wrong. On that bright sunny day I found eight wom- en wearing tan raincoats and black hats with blue facing: 2 Universal finger-printing is the solu- tion, she told the assembled experts, many of them connected with police departments the country over. “It is a social necessity at birth,” she declared.

Tyler Mairs of Brooklyn, N.

Kave of the Army iden- tification bureau told of the work done there, which possesses the larg- est collection of printe in the world, about five million finger prints. The association voted to retiring President Harry H. Caldwell the orig- inal finger prints taken by him yester- day of President Harding.

By the Assoclated Press. SAN FRANCISCO, September 23.— Declaration that the striking oil workers in Fresno and Kern counties had transformed that region into a veritable “little Russia” was made by M. IL Whittier, president of the Ol Producers’ Association of California, in a statement here today. “We have determined to go slow in handling this regrettable situation,” he said. Whittier declared that the association was not prepared at pres- jent to receive overtures from the men, “nor are we in the mood to make overtures of any sort.” Martin Madson, secretary to Stephens, yesterday began an_ inquiry into conditions in the oil fields of this section, where a strike is in progress and armed patrols of strikers are halting traffic on the highways. With J. H. Dorsey, district attorney, he went on an automobile trip through some of the strike area. Later a conference with representa- tives of employers was arranged. Gov.
